I've not seen malamar tbh, and I gave it a go myself it's still not that effective.I don't think
a] Malamar will be that common, its still not that great.
b] Malamar being the reason stall takes a hit.
Stall took a hit because it's most brainless pokemon [besides Audino] just got sucked up to RU. It had an Aegislash-like defensive stranglehold on the tier, where its typing alone made dozens of things unusable/unviable. Stall also lost it's best spinblocker and priority user. There was seriously little to no reason not to throw this thing on your team, and now that it's gone, stall is having to adapt.
When it comes to stall teams facing new-found pressures, Malamar has something to do with this, but it's like 1% of the problem.
I have noticed a rise in the use of Kanga and other physical attackers of the like, mainly with the main physical attacker crippler now gone, despite it's ability scrappy, tomb could still bring any Kanga down a peg or two.
Anybody had more success with subplot Mismagius with it's biggest threat now gone? I think this powerful threat could make an impact on the new metagame since after a sub, it outspeeds and can destroy most of the tier with it's coverage, especially at +2.
